Thread goodies

Among many other things from my quilt market trip, I brought home a handful of embroidery thread from Wonderfil and I'm anxious to give it a try! My friend, Elsie, with whom I was traveling had been invited to a Wonderfil thread party Saturday evening and I tagged along.

And I was glad I did! I was able to meet a few more people, plus obtain some Wonderfil spools of thread to take home and try out!

Wonderfil is a Canadian based company offering lots of different threads for machine embroidery. They have metallic, rayon, polyester, hologram, variegated, decorative bobbin thread and invisafil thread.

Something I found interesting was that they have a 100 weight polyester thread called Invisafil which with its matte finish disappears into the fabric. I could see this as an alternative to invisible thread, which is harder to work with. I'll have to give it a try and see how it works!
